How to play Dishdle
A daily food Wordle. Guess the dish from its clues, in as few as you can.
A new mystery dish every day at midnight. You start with one clue on the table.
Guess whenever you like. A wrong guess reveals the next clue, so every miss costs you.
Stuck? Skip to the next clue without guessing.
Clues go from broad to specific: ingredients, method and dish type first, the cuisine near the end, and the dish’s signature last.
Solve on fewer clues for more stars. Use every clue and miss the final guess, and the dish is revealed.
After the game, the chillies show how hard the dish was, from one (an everyday dish) to five (one for the food nerds).
Solving dailies builds your streak. Missed a day? Solve it from the archive within two days and the chain holds. A failed day breaks it.
Want more? Practice serves past dishes at random, as many as you like.
